A man was falsely accused of rape by his ex-girlfriend who wore a false baby bump to convince him that she was pregnant, a court has heard.

Jessica Nordquist, 25, allegedly became besotted with Mark Weeks following the break-down of their relationship in November last year.

She went on to say that she had been kidnapped and only he could save her, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told.

She contacted fellow HR manager Rachel Exley who helped Nordquist move to the UK from New York.

Ms Exley said: The message said that Jessica had had an overdose and that they could not get through to her.

I went on Instagram because I knew that Jessica could never not go on Instagram. While she was supposedly having an overdose she was liking messages from an hour before.

She knew that Nordquist and Mark Weeks had been dating, and heard that Mark had ended the relationship.

Ms Exley said: She went to New York on holiday, she said that her and Mark had had a massive row because she wanted to be in a couple and he did not want that to happen.

She was very upset about it. In my opinion it was a bit of an overreaction because the relationship was so short.

Some time afterwards she messaged me completely out of the blue to tell me she was 8-10 weeks pregnant.

Later Nordquist messaged Ms Exley again about her pregnancy, this time with a photo of a positive pregnancy test.

Ms Exley believed that the tiling behind the pregnancy test looked like the tiling in the bathroom at Unruly.

Ms Exley and Olivia Goodman were put in charge of dealing with complaints lodged by both Nordquist and Mark Weeks against each other.

Ms Exley said she asked to be taken off after Nordquist questioned her professionalism.

During the alleged stalking campaign co-workers at Unruly received messages from phone numbers unknown to them.

Mr Weeks has told how he received emails from fake email accounts – including one in the name of a friend – saying Nordquist had been kidnapped and raped.

Nordquist, from Whitechapel, east London, denies two counts stalking, two counts of sending malicious communications and one count of perverting course of justice.

The trial continues.
